How long did you have it for ?

I would of considered the Gen. just like the G37 but coupe lacked some of Nissan’s refinement overall, and the G37 wasn’t worth the extra money when you considered it looked more Lexus like than the G35, including a interior that was a little dated. Footnote wise here: Hyundai engineers promised a V8 right before the coupe was released and it never happen, it would of persuaded me much further had they kept their promise, just think how many Mustang and Camaro owners would reacted.

It wasn't exactly promised. They attempted to transversely fit the v8 in for production. It hindered performance. Putting it in longitudinally didn't fit. Rhys Millen team built a rear engine version. Too costly. It would've been a $70,000 car. They tried, which is more than I can say for Nissan, as of lately. Unfortunately, making a v8 coupe wasn't a thought till the market began asking for it.

The rumor mill over the Genny forum is almost as crazy as the Z35 stuff here. A concept coupe debuted a few days ago. It's enormous. Big v8, looks like a Bentley. Glad it's just a concept.

This is a probably a moribund thread but just to answer the question since I didn't answer it earlier, sorry. I had the Genesis for about 1 1/2 years.
